The weight force on an object in a gravitational field is given by [tex]F = mg[/tex] where [tex]m[/tex] is the mass in kg and [tex]g[/tex] is the acceleration
due to gravity at that place. Rearranging:
[tex]g = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{266.1}{30} = 8.87 Nkg^&-1[/tex] or [tex]8.87ms^&-2[/tex]
Explanation:
Venus is only slightly smaller than Earth, in both mass and radius, so this answer makes sense, when compared with the value of [tex]9.81 Nkg^&-1[/tex]at Earth's surface.
